                <p>Dashboards use SharePoint Products to display Web parts. You can add many types of
                    Web parts to a dashboard. However, the two Web parts that are specific to the display
                    of project data for Team Foundation are Excel Web Access and Team Web Access Web
                    parts. Web parts for Excel Web Access display PivotChart reports or other data that
                    is derived from Office Excel worksheets that access the Analysis Services database
                    for Visual Studio ALM. Web parts for Visual Studio ALM show lists of work items,
                    work item counts, and other project data that is derived from Team Foundation databases.
